When someone vandalises your ancient monument, would you want to: A) Imprison them. B) Fine them. C) Get them to do community service on the site. D) Get them to write a research paper on the site, so they have to look into it's history, religious and societal significance, and then explain what they have learnt about it. Kudos to the manager of Serpent Mound, and the local Assistant Prosecutor, who think that A is unlikely, B won't change any attitudes, so want C and D to happen.
Daniel Coleman Dargavell allegedly jumped the curb in the parking lot in the middle of the night over the Fourth of July weekend and attempted to drive a large white pickup over a 2,000-year-old Adena Mound.
Prison time – if he's found guilty – is a long shot, said Armstrong of the prosecutor's office, who is unsure whether he'll ask that Dargavell do any time. "Someone else, a family member likely, is going to pay the restitution up front," Armstrong said, "but I want (Dargavell) to have a significant investment in this, that would mostly be community service." Sometimes, when things like this happen, the party that was vandalized never wants to see the vandal again, Armstrong said. Not Serpent Mound manager Goodwin. "In fact, they were already coming up with a list of things they want him to do," Armstrong said. Story pulled from here.
